Diagonaldi Very well executed

Ketrivie It isn't all that great, actually. Really cheesy and very predicable of how certain scenes are gonna turn play out. However, I guess that's the charm of it all, because I would consider this one of my guilty pleasures.

Ezmae Chang This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

Hattie I didn’t really have many expectations going into the movie (good or bad), but I actually really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and the banter between them.

TheBlueHairedLawyer Most adult cartoons on TV these days are crude, offensive and repetitive (coughFamilyGuycough). Lately the two most popular cartoons for adults on TV are South Park and Family Guy. Since I'm a climate change heretic I found a few scenes in South Park to be funny as it makes fun of environmental extremism, but for the most part South Park is just rude, badly animated and probably upsetting to a lot of people. As for Family Guy, it's funny to the "lowest common denominator", the morons of the world who find child molestation, racism, incest and mentally disabled people to be funny. That's why I cancelled my satellite TV service. Reality shows, tasteless animated programming, and just plain stupid sitcoms have filled nearly every space of television and is making today's generation (which believe it or not I'm a part of), into idiots.King of the Hill was one of the few animated shows out there that was funny without going too far. It had some occasional crude humor but more often than not its humor was based on the scenarios of the show's situations, the facial reactions of the characters and the main characters' personalities. King of the Hill never really makes fun of any race, sexual orientation or disability, and on the brief occasion that a character does this, it is stated aloud that to make fun of these things is wrong.The characters aren't the generic obese, idiotic couch potatoes with three kids the way most characters in cartoons today are. Instead, the main characters are Hank (a prudish, old-fashioned rednecky propane salesman trying to deal with the changes brought about in the 21st century), Peggy Hill (Hank's annoying, nerdy and narcissistic wife) and Hank's son, Bobby (unlike Hank, who is into sports, country music and his considered manly activities, Bobby is overweight, still sleeps with stuffed animals, dresses up in women's clothing to practice comedy routines and is often very lazy). The secondary characters include Dale (a basement-dwelling exterminator who buys into conspiracy theories), Bill (an obese army barber who is often depressed and lonely), Boomhauer (an eligible bachelor and in the last season implied to be a Texas Ranger), Kahn (a usually crabby guy but can often be nice depending on the episode), Luanne (Hank and Peggy's niece who often falls for controlling or perverted men and came from a trailer trash neighborhood), Mihn (Kahn's wife), Cotton (Hank's loud-mouthed, war-obsessed father), Nancy (Dale's wife and a weathergirl for the town news station), Joseph (Bobby's pervy best friend), John Redcorn (Nancy's secret affair and Joseph's real father)... okay, I could go on and on, but the point is, there is a really crazy cast of characters on this show, all likable in their own way.KOTH points out all the problems of the "modern world", a few examples being violence among teens, computers always being upgraded, unhelpful doctors and psychiatrists, chain stores (Megalo-Mart is a parody of Wal-Mart), forced environmentalism, cellular phones and childhood obesity, among many others. The show points these things out in a comical way, without upsetting anyone or using crude humor or offensive slurs. As the show progresses, Hank has moments where he learns to find the good in all people and where he is shown to be a pretty nice guy overall (for example he saves a former prostitute from being taken back to the streets by her Willy Wonka-like pimp). Hank also works at a propane dealership with a number of hilarious characters.The soundtrack was rednecky but catchy all the same and the voice acting was amazing. Hank's catchphrase is screaming "BWAHHHH!!!" whenever he gets mad, but it isn't in every episode, and it's a little different each time. He often makes various funny facial expressions when he does this.I don't mean to sound like I'm ranting, but this show was excellent! Sadly it was cancelled and pathetic shows like Family Guy, American Dad and Bob's Burgers quickly filled its space. It's really unfortunate, because KOTH was hilarious but still had good values for the most part. Maybe someday when people aren't so easily amused by sex jokes, racial slurs and fart noises every five seconds, they'll come to their senses and make shows more similar to this one. Reruns of KOTH are apparently frequent on television still, so if you haven't seen it, be sure to check which channels the reruns are on.

GorillaWarfare King of the Hill is unquestionably different from its rivals in many ways: calmer, more subtle and simple. However, what defines KotH more than anything else is its timelessness: other shows seem to benefit off referencing the news and pop culture (South Park and Family Guy primarily). KotH on the other hand, builds its plot inwards around its own characters and locations. It could be shown to anyone in the next 40 years and they would understand it as much as today. Instead of simply racing towards offending the biggest celebrity or corporation, it keeps conservative and to itself. As well as this, the characters are memorable and brilliantly crafted: Hank, an every day man who sometimes makes stupid decisions. Dale Gribble, an anti-government obsessive. Jeff Boomhauer, the most 'modern' of the 4, but who cant seem to talk properly. And finally Bill Dauterive, a slobby but likable bachelor. The one reason I gave this 8/10 is because sometimes the show doesn't always seem to 'get going' and draw you in to the plot, however this is rare and not something that should put you off the show. To conclude, King of the Hill is a show which never got the attention it deserved, and a great alternative for anyone bored of modern ultra-paced cartoons.

dee.reid Mike Judge's "King of the Hill" was his next great success following "Beavis and Butthead" on MTV. "King of the Hill" follows Arlen, Texas, native and conservative family man Hank Hill, and his family and their circle of weird but likable friends. The show is also a satire of Texas life, and the sometimes absurd and eccentric attitudes of people who live there.I remember when this show first premiered 13 years ago in 1997 and I thinking that this is the next great show FOX had to offer after "The Simpsons." I always looked forward to watching "King of the Hill" after "The Simpsons" every Sunday night before bedtime (I was still in elementary school around the time this show first premiered on television).Mike Judge cannot fail in providing a show with a lot of great laughs and out-sized and unusual characters. That has always been one of his strengths as a show producer. After hearing that this show would be canceled earlier this year, I was quite disappointed. I'm not sure why this move was made (it could have had something to do with the tragic death of actress Brittany Murphy in December of last year), but I guess it just makes more room for Judge to lend his creative juices to another great animated satire.10/10

jpgriff It took me a while to warm up to even start to watch this show. In the previews? I was aghast. That white t-shirt? The jeans? The horn-rim glasses? The Wolverine work-boots? The ever-present can of beer? The accent? The attitude? THAT'S MY DAD ca 1977! I don't want to watch a show that makes fun of my late Dad! Fortunately, I got over my "Hits Too Close To Home" jitters and gave this show a shot... Maybe because I, myself am now a 40-something Southerner in (Shiver) jeans, work boots, t-shirt, and ubiquitous can of beer.Hank Hill is not your typical family sit-com Dad... Where Dad has been portrayed since the '80's as a likable but clueless, powerless, and disconnected dope. Hank is actually thoughtful, loving, relatively articulate, and USUALLY right in his good-ol'-fashioned common sense. He's not a clowning buffoon like Cliff Huxtable, and he is not blinded by Jason Seaver's weird theoretical constructs, and he shares none of Dan Conner's frustrated bitterness.His wife, Peggy is not the super-career-woman-Mom, either. She does not have a glamorous career as a Lawyer nor a Journalist, and she doesn't always have the quick, venal, cutting comebacks... Actually? Peggy is a little slow on the uptake, though her inflated opinion of herself drives her to strive ever higher. She actually reminds me very much of some of my social-climbing Aunts.Their son, Bobby, is The Weird Kid at his Jr High School and a constant disappointment. Fat, slow, and not good at anything involving physical prowess? Bobby takes more after his Mom with his dedication to pop-culture, fads, and so-called artistic endevours like being in school plays. Bobby's ambition is to be a stand-up comic, but unfortunately? His Idea of "funny" is the likes of Carrot Top, Yakov Smirnoff, and Gallagher.It's very much a character driven show... And you come to actually like and care for and about most of these cartoon characters moreso than a lot of live-action sit-coms... "Sienfeld" comes to mind. I couldn't stand a single character on that over-lived pile of junk.
